Table 2. Photophysical data of 8 from solution-based a and solid-state b measurements.
Medium | Em. λmax (nm) | φ c | τ d (μs) | k r f (104 s–1) | k nr f (104 s–1) |
77 K | 456, 486, 514 | — | 11.4 | — | — |
PMMA film | 497 | 0.07 | 4.24 e | 1.67 | 22.1 |
Neat solid | 476, 505, 540 | 0.03 | 0.94 e | 3.20 | 103.1 |
aSolutions at room temperature were non-emissive, and 77 K spectra were measured in 2-MeTHF.
bPMMA film was prepared as 2 wt%, neat solid was 8 in powder form.
cQuantum yields were measured using an integrating sphere under N2.
d77 K lifetime was measured in 2-MeTHF, PMMA film and neat solid lifetimes were measured in the absence of air.
eValues obtained from the weighted average of a multi-exponential decay.
fCalculated according to the equations kr = φ/τ and knr = (1 – φ)/τ, where kr is the radiative rate constant, knr is the non-radiative rate constant, φ is the quantum yield, and τ is the luminescence lifetime.
